Alex Payumo developed core features for the SOEN490-CAPSTONE2026/FoodFlow repository, delivering an end-to-end onboarding platform, donor and receiver workflows, and an achievements system. He engineered robust backend services using Java and Spring Boot, integrating secure registration, CRUD operations, and real-time communication. On the frontend, Alex used React and CSS to build dashboards, onboarding screens, and gamification elements. His work included Docker-based containerization, CI/CD pipelines, and comprehensive testing with JUnit and Jest, ensuring deployment reliability. By implementing metrics, observability, and database migrations, Alex improved system stability, data integrity, and user experience, demonstrating depth in full stack development and DevOps.
